First of all, I apologize for complicating this matter with my upload. I
will be more careful to check for this before uploading newly adopted
packages.
I am sure that this idea has been discussed before, but it seems to me
that it would be fairly straightforward to implement a mechanism whereby
all packages involved in transitions could be explicitely marked as
frozen in unstable, preventing new uploads from succeeding before the
transition was complete.
I absolutely agree that a certain amount of diligence should be required
from all developers, but it also seems that technical solutions should
also be put in place insasmuch as possible. (Maybe I simply
under-estimate the difficulty of this proposition, being entirely
unfamiliar with the current infrastructure.)
cheers,
Charles
